WEEK 1

[Awaken.

Fifteen strangers have been gathered to the Depths.

When the strangers awaken, they will feel nauseous in their stomachs. No doubt confused. Maybe a little sick, Perhaps, even terrified. And certainly, there is a good reason for it - they are not where they were before. If they had powers back where they came from, they seem to be all gone. And it appears that someone has left...guidelines for them. All of them addressed to a specific Title.

Their Title. Somehow, each person knows, upon seeing this, this is their Title, even if it seems to make no sense whatsoever. And its clear that whoever wrote these things knew it as well. Who was it?

Its uncertain. So far, there seems to be no one else save for them, and those who dare to venture out of their rooms - save, for some reason, the individuals in rooms 1, 8 and 7 - in this hot and stuffy place. No...'intercessor' to be seen yet, certainly. No outward signs that there's anyone else aside from the people with 'Titles'.


So, Titled: welcome.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

Comments

[zephyranthe]

[Should she fuck around with this scene. Well whatever. Is the statue small enough for her to move it? Because if so, she'll check to see if anything's under it.]

[strangerpeople]

[It's heavy, but it's doable.

Underneath is a smooshed piece of paper...and a press-on nail.]

[zephyranthe]

[Oh hey, nice to know she didn't do that for nothing. What's on the paper when she smooths it out? Also, what colour is that nail anyways...]

[strangerpeople]

[The letter is actually the rules addressed to the Glister, dated back to Monday. However, there is something noticeably different about this letter on first glance - namely that the handwriting is different from the letters Fie and everyone else had been given.

As for the press-on's color? Bright red.]

[zephyranthe]

[That's curious. There's nothing else different about the letter if she reads over it again, is there? Otherwise she'll just see if maybe there's another letter around the room, since she can't tell if it's fake or not...]

[strangerpeople]

[Regarding the letter's contents, there isn't.

There is something extra on the back, however, something large enough to be easily noticed.]

[zephyranthe]

[Well, then I guess we'll be checking whatever's on the back, then. What's she looking at, here?]

[strangerpeople]

[It's a picture of a giant circle with cross hatching throughout, sourrounded by sparkles. It takes up most of the page.]

[zephyranthe]

[Oh no she's still being haunted by more sparkles nooooo

But okay, this is oddly appropriate, she supposes. Is the crosshatching akin to shading in order to make the circle look three-dimensional, make some kind of pattern, or is it just... like a black circle?]

[strangerpeople]

[The sparkles will haunt you FOREVER

The cross hatching is patterned, very careful and deliberate. It's actually very similar to the pattern one would find when cutting gems.]

[zephyranthe]

[Hmm... well, that seems important so time to smoosh that into her pocket along with... all the other shit she found... Wow she's getting quite a collection here.

And one last thing she wants to check unless I missed some other thing here, but when she closes the door, are there any unusual air currents that might indicate the existence of a hidden space, gap, etc.?]

[strangerpeople]

[Don't forget the press-on nail, it is the key to this entire mystery! Or... probably not, it probably wouldn't hurt to take.

As for Fie's theory, It's definitely a good one. But there is no discernible change in air currents to be sensed. It's as stuffy as the rest of the floor.]

[zephyranthe]

[I mean, maybe it's a sign that Junko's really behind all this so yeah she'll take it, sure.

Well, that's a bust, so either there is no hidden space or it's really hella well sealed. But hopefully it's the former because she'd honestly prefer not to have hidden areas all over the place where people can hide... I guess investigation time is finished?

or maybe she'll just check inside the toilet for kicks while she's at it, i don't know]

[strangerpeople]

[As fun as it would be to make poop jokes at Eric's expense, sadly yes, investigation time is finished!]
